Donald Trump gloats about USA’s Women’s World Cup elimination

Ex-president's open criticism of team started in 2019, when Megan Rapinoe said she wouldn't visit White House after winning

Less than 24 hours after the US women's national team suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of their longtime nemesis Sweden in the second round of the 2023 Women's World Cup, Donald Trump gloated about the team's elimination on social media.

The former president, a longtime vocal critic of the team, specifically Megan Rapinoe, a blue-haired talisman and outspoken LGBTQ+ advocate who missed a crucial penalty during the final moments of the game, said that the team's loss is fully emblematic of what is happening to our great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden".
